    SmartCone®

    SmartCone® Patent No. 8,201,457


    The SmartCone® meter by Dynamic
    Flow Computers is a differential pressure
    device for measuring flowing fluids. This device
    measures flowing condition temperature and
    pressures of the fluids and has a second low-
    pressure port to provide self-checking
    capabilities. All measuring points are
    incorporated within the meter body. This meter
    combined with the Dynamic Flow Computer
    can output flow rate, total flow for actual
    condition and standard conditions, and alarm
    the user when failure is indicated by the
    secondary pressure port.

    The annular flow path between the pipe wall and the cone can
    be altered by attaching a discrete number of self-aligning and self-
    centering Area Ratio Changers (ARC - highlighted in green). Multiple
    aligning surfaces of the ARC maintain the concentricity of the attached
    ARC to the integrated cone with the axis of the meter. Positive sealing
    between the integral cone and the ARC exists to eliminate leaks and
    unintended disassembly of the ARC. The flow coefficient of each ARC is
    established as a function of Reynolds number and a unique discharge
    coefficient for each line size within accuracy limit of +/- 0.5% or better.
    Individually calibrated meters can achieve an accuracy limit of better
    than +/-0.25% over a limited operating range.

    The meter body is investment-cast to


    achieve tight dimensional tolerances and
    surface finish. The critical dimensions of the ARC
    diameters and mating surfaces of the ARC are
    machined. The ARC edge holding the annular
    space between the ARC and pipe wall is
    machined parallel to the pipe wall to achieve
    precise alignment and reduce the effect of
    possible erosion over the life of the meter from
    debris in the flowing stream. Another
    advantage of the cast meter body and the
    integrated support and base cone is to
    eliminate miss-alignment of the cone assembly
    axis with respect to the pipe axis over time.
    Dropping of the cone assembly over time can
    affect the performance and reproducibility of
    the meter. Each nominal meter size is uniquely
    designed operating conditions up to ANSI 1500 rating.
